Reviving an old thread, but whenever I'm done riding, I always seem to have snow on and around my bindings, although I do wipe the edges down, I'm scared that this snow will melt then rust the edges. I've tried to take the build up off, but it never all comes out of every cranny.

Funny that the email notification for this thread came through my phone just as I was wiping my board down before loading it into my truck last night haha.

Yeah so it's sort of impossible to get all the snow off the bindings. What I do is bang off/brush off as much as I can, wipe down the edges, load it up.

When I get home, I bring it in and rest it vertically against a wall (tail on a towel to collect water). Wipe it down again. Any melting snow or water from the bindings at that point will drain down to the tail and not lay on the edges. Air drying it this way helps also.

no he did it right. a hot scrape is waxing it and scraping before it cools.

I was told today the reason it did not work so great is because I have a WHITE base on my snowboard so it will never be COMPLETELY white again but I hot scraped again and it worked much better this time.

That's just a normal wax job. I think by hot scrape he means to let the wax wear off the base, clean it, then iron and scrape it before adding any wax. This should pull the dirt and old wax out of the base, then wax it up like you normally would.
